A New Adventure

It seems like only yesterday that I was preparing to start a new role at Edelman’s smart office in London. Well today I find mysefl doing exactly the same thing. The only difference being that I’m starting out a different Edelman office – this time in St. Stephen’s Green, Dublin.

I am delighted and really looking forward to another new and exciting chapter in my career and life. For those that don’t know me personally but read SWT, I’ve moved to Ireland to be with my girlfriend, who as an American citizen had a couple of visa issues back in the UK.

I’m looking forward to the challenges of my new role, learning from some great people and the opportunities this may bring. I’m also excited to meet my new colleagues, settle in and begin exploring the wonderful city of Dublin and further afield (please do let me know of good places to visit). As someone whose grandparents were from Tipperary and Cavan, it’s also a fantastic opportunity to catch up on some family history.

I’ll be forever grateful to Marshall Manson and Mark Cahalane at Edelman for their kindness and understanding to make this move happen for me. I’m delighted to be staying within the Edelman network.

Today is my first day at Edelman Dublin. Wish me luck.
